If you build the CVS version with an ebuild it should be easy to
unmerge it later and install the standard mythtv version from portage.
I know of at least one myhtv-cvs ebuild here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66337 . I also think I have
seen other ebuilds posted to this mailing list or the mythtv-devel
list. Search the archives. Read the comments in the link above and/or
the general gentoo documentation for instructions on how to use your
own ebuilds (PORTDIR_OVERLAY etc...)
